Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop
Dan makes Kylie read Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop. Is it a cowboy tale? A work of high modernism? The source text for Slow West? (Probably not that last one...) Rustle up your cattle and join The NewlyReads as they meander through the long history of landscape description, why Catholics get a good rep in literature, and how Kylie got Goldfinched by this one. Also, a big announcement: We're going weekly! Starting next week, after every traditional episode, we'll release a shorter companion episode that delves into each author's sentence-level style.
